Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

At this moment, Zhou Ning was stunned for a long time and thought he had seen it wrong.

Because in the previous life game, the information about Windgun was too scarce, and only the player who received the task learned some of Windgun's deeds through the task text.

Zhou Ning never thought that he would see his book on an ordinary bookstall selling occult books. This coincidence gave him a vague sense of fate.

After a closer look, I realized I was right. However, Windgun on the book was not the author's name, but the title of the book.

Zhou Ning calmed his breath, walked over calmly, picked up the book from the bookstall, and gently opened it to read.

The book is about 400 pages long and is titled "Windgun's Introduction to Life Sciences." It's written in the same Ruins language that's not very friendly to most Braxtonians.

As for the content, the first dozen or so pages are all about his research theories in life sciences. There are many relatively rare words in Luines, and you have to look up the dictionary to read it through.

Zhou Ning tried to convert the sentences he knew into Old Faric. According to the decryption method of Puppet Alchemy, he pieced together a few sentences with 2,4,6,8, , , or words in each line and read them. Sure enough, he could read them.

I didn't expect this guy to be so honest and keep using the same encryption method.

Just as he was about to turn a few more pages, the owner of the used bookstall, a middle-aged man with gray hair, finally lost his patience and coughed loudly: "Customer, if you don't want to buy the book, put it down. You've been reading for more than 10 minutes."

"Sorry." Zhou Ning suddenly realized it, raised the book and shook it, and asked, "How much is this book?"

"42 Roshen," the shopkeeper said after looking at the title. "This is a medical text from the ancient Faric period, and it's a unique copy. This price is quite cheap."

As a wealthy man, Zhou Ning was too lazy to bargain and just bought it.

Having closed a deal, the stall owner smiled. "Are you a medical student at a nearby university? I have a set of medical books written by Brian. Do you want them?"

Zhou Ning shook his head, indicating he wasn't interested. He searched the bookstall again but couldn't find a second book in the same series. To avoid missing out, he asked the stall owner, "Do you have any more books by Windgun? I'd pay a high price."

"No." The stall owner shook his head, but perhaps the high price had impressed him. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll keep an eye out for you in the used book community. You can leave me your contact information and I'll send someone to let you know when there's a result. But one thing is for sure: the price won't be low."

"Okay." Zhou Ning curled his lips and copied the address of his alchemy laboratory to him. At this time, he could only silently sigh, "The charm of money."

After leaving the bookstall, Zhou Ning took a tour of the surrounding stalls. According to Jasmine, there were actually some spiritual items here. Some of these, some silver items of a certain age, could replace mithril and be used to craft talismans with special powers. Zhou Ning had a skill called Mysticism, which contained some of this information.

After spending more than half an hour walking around the place, Zhou Ning, under Jasmine's guidance, bought some old silverware and special materials, spending nearly 10 Vectra. Unfortunately, he never saw the unknown artifact.

Frankly speaking, as a market that sells mysterious items, there are actually quite a lot of interesting things here, especially after the full revival of supernatural powers.

There were fortune tellers using crystal balls for divination, magicians performing bizarre tricks, and witches casting spells. In Zhou Ning's opinion, many of them had traces of the mysterious side, but they were all just entry-level.

It turned out that he had become a senior extraordinary person without realizing it. Zhou Ning smiled and walked towards the exit.

It was almost 10 o'clock when we took the public carriage back to the University of Wake Forest.

As school is about to start, the school is no longer as deserted as it was a few days ago, and the campus boulevards are full of students coming and going.

I have to sigh at my own charm. In the less than 5-minute walk from the school gate to the dormitory, I was approached seven or eight times.

After returning to the dormitory, I found that John was not out hanging out, which was a rare occurrence. Instead, he was sitting at his desk writing furiously.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Ning walked over and asked curiously.

"Write a business plan. I want to start a new business." John said without looking up. "My dad agreed. As long as I come up with a feasible business plan, he will invest another 10,000 Vectra in me."

Zhou Ning: ...

I originally thought that I was already very rich with more than 2000 Victorias, but when compared with John, I couldn't help but shed tears of poverty.

John said, paused, and looked up.

"I originally wanted to invite you to start a business with me... but forget it." John smiled and shook his head. "I know that a transcendent like you won't be moved by money, nor will you be willing to be confined to a small shop."

Zhou Ning:?

Why not?

You used dirty money to tempt me before! How could you just give up without even trying?

After chatting with John for a few words, Zhou Ning took a comfortable shower in the bathroom, then walked into his room while drying his hair.

Zhou Ning took out a pen, a piece of paper and the Ruins dictionary from the drawer and began to try to decipher the contents of the book.

Including the time spent looking up the dictionary, it took Zhou Ning almost five hours to decipher the 400-page book. It was not until around three in the morning that Zhou Ning completed the deciphering.

Zhou Ning picked up the decrypted results without hesitation and began to read quietly.

Frankly speaking, Zhou Ning was somewhat disappointed but also somewhat shocked by the decrypted content.

This section describes the journey of Windgunn after he discovered puppet alchemy. He became fascinated by the art of creating life. He believed that everything in this world, big or small, was the same. People and stones were all made of the same substance. They simply existed in different forms, and with the right formula, they could be transformed into one another.

In order to prove his idea, he tried every possible way to learn medical skills. Through a large number of anatomical experiments, he figured out the structure of the human body and the location of each organ. After making all preparations, he officially began to refine the first alchemical life.

A year later, he succeeded. By mixing pure earth, primordial life, and human sperm, and adding blood over 40 days, he managed to cultivate a transparent humanoid life form. Although the life form died after three days, he felt he had found the right direction.

The following long section described Windgun's various methods of research into alchemical life, even including some extraordinary creatures. Although Zhou Ning didn't quite understand it, he was deeply shocked.

At this moment, a prompt came from the panel:

[Through reading, you have learned Life Alchemy (Elementary).]

"Life Alchemy?"

Zhou Ning took a look but didn't pay much attention to it for the time being. Because of Holweg and the Life Alchemy Society, this school of thought had left a very bad impression on him.

Read on.

After conducting extensive research, Windgun felt the time was ripe and attempted to create the legendary supernatural creature - the dragon.

What shocked Zhou Ning the most was that Windgun had actually succeeded. After a long period of research, he actually used his extraordinary alchemy skills to refine a dragon.

Then comes the final paragraph of Windegorn's text:

"I read in a book that a fierce battle once took place between gods. One god was wounded by another, and his blood shed, turning into a lake. Since gods can bleed, a curious thought suddenly occurred to me: what exactly is the structure of a god's body like? Do they have internal organs like humans? And now is the perfect opportunity..."

The whole paragraph ends here

At this moment, Jasmine couldn't help but sigh in his mind: "Goddess of the Sun, this Windgun is both a genius and a complete lunatic..."
